    Your point is based on the USA being a Labour Aristocracy, but Stalin's point is that Social Fascism is explicitly a Petit Bourgeois phenomenon. A Labour Aristocracy has the same overall objectives as the international working class but is being suppressed in consciousness by having less surplus labour extracted from them.

    You might counter that the US working class earns enough from the exploitation of the empire that they're extracting more than their labour value, but a simple look at wages vs cost of living shows this not to be true.

    The US should be balkanised, but not for that reason.
